    Looking at adding the Ride-rites to my 94 2500 CTD. The instructions show the upper bracket mounting to the outside frame rail, right where my B&W Turnover ball hitch is. Anyone run across this? What did you do about it? Different Air bag? Mod the Air bag bracket?

    I am running into the same thing. I aquired some bags and am going to build some mounts and looks like they might have to have a step in the bracket to come up the side of the B&W hitch. I'm curious what others have done.

    I put a post on Pirate just like this one. One of the guys should post a pic of what he did to mod the bracket.

    Interesting. I've been kicking around getting a set, but I'll bet my Reese rails n frame plates will be in the way too. :doah: Looking forward to your solution...
